Superius. Livre de chansons a cinc parties : avec deux dialogues : a huit. D'Orlande de Lassus.
A 1581 Paris music book of five-part chansons by Orlande de Lassus, printed by Adrian Le Roy for singers and performers, with its superius part set in choirbook-style staves. The pictures show decorated initial letters with figures and foliage beside printed musical notation, a useful reference for designers seeking Renaissance typography, ornamented capitals and early printed music layout.
